Do you think U.S media brainwashes people against Muslims?

I think at least many of Yahoo news viewers are considering the amount of thumbs up given to bigoted comments.

Muslims do that themselves

If you stop suicide bombing yourselves, honor killings, promoting Islam through fear and terror, and downgrading women - there won't be bad news about Muslims. bobaban

Because they all do that....

[QUOTE="t0taldj"]If you see my original post I never blamed Americans, I blamed the media for narrowing down the image of Muslims. Because that's the source of info for some ignorant people I met, who pretend they know more about my religion through "media". Nor am I saying that all Muslims are good human beings. By media I also meant any source of News on the internet. Sorry I didn't bring that up earlier. That was the whole point. Regarding the quick quote, a couple of days ago it wasn't working due to some technical problems with GS. Guess I got used to it.LJS9502_basic

My town refuses to let any brown person into the town centre for fear they will blow it up and run around draping the local women in unrevealing clothing.

Terrorists, man.

I'm sure Fox news does.

I've not noticed them slamming muslims and if they were brainwashing people we'd see alot of hangings, lynchings...etc

I'm from the UK and can see why muslims dont like American people, America thinks it rules the world and basicaly just makes up an excuse to go into a country and it for all its resources so cant blam people really for not liking Americans.

Its not the uk who go in and rape countrys although we are stupid enough to go along with the americans

They are trying to brainwash the people, it's obvious they are trying to portray almost all middle eastern natives and muslims as outright terrorists, every single one of them. And most Americans are ignorant enough to believe it. It's all propaganda for a quick cash grab from countries the U.S otherwise couldn't interfere with legally.

To a point yes but do you think that religion and its "brain washing" of you must do such and such and if you dont you will go to hell + believe in these ideas and morals and you are one of us because of this, is really any better?

If the US is anti-muslim then what can you say about religon thats any better? Its anti-homosexual, anti-blood transfusion, anti-abortion, anti-equal rights etc the list really goes on.

I know religon does have some nice things about it, be kind to people etc however those sort of morals and codes of life as it were; do not need re-enforcement by the fear factor that you will go to hell if you dont.

How is anti-homosexual and anti abortion bad, I mean how really, what does society gain from killing babies and homosexuality. And how is religion in general anti-equal rights? Maybe radical Islam, but then you would be making the stupid mistake of Radical Religion=all religion.

It's double standards.

There are severe problems with lots of religions.

If you are anti-Muslim, you should be anti-Christian and anti-Hinduist as well.

Christianity was responsible for the murder of thousands (if not millions) of Native Americans all throughout North and South America.

Christianity justified slavery and racial segregation for hundreds of years within the USA.

It can't be that great a religion if all kinds of atrocities occurred "under the good name of Christianity."

-

Any country that adopts Hinduism is a severely limited country, as the religion dictates that a poor man could never become anything else except a poor man, and that rich men can only be rich men because they were born that way.

It's completely ludicrous considering that we live in a 21st century society.

-

What I'm saying is that you can't ignore the flaws of lots of religions just because Islam justifies archaic practices.

If you're going to condemn one religion, you have to condemn all of the infringing ones.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"]Why is necessarily bad to be bigoted against an entire group of people? Aren't you bigoted against misogynists, for example? By the way, word meanings do not always follow their etymological roots, Einstein.MannyDelgado

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] I'm not bigoted against anyone. They can believe what they want as long as they aren't hurting anyone. And don't turn this into a semantics argument. Because words get abused doesn't mean they are used properly.

I will admit I don't know much about Hinduism but the problem tends more to be when a government is run by religious ideologies rather than the religion itself. So I'd guess that argument fails as wells. But like I said I haven't really studied too in depth Hinduism.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="MannyDelgado"]Mm, because when did Muslim misogyny and homophobia hurt anyone, right? And, uh, so when everyone uses a word differently to you, it means that THEY must be in the wrong? You're such a daft c*nt, you know that?MannyDelgado

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] So your stance is that it's okay for you to insult Muslims in general because they ALL act the same way? Is that your argument? You want to know what words mean look them up.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="MannyDelgado"]No. My stance is that it's okay to insult Muslims in general because they claim that a book of vile first-millenium idiocy is the word of God.
